Birthday Cake Cookies

For those of you who do not know me personally, I have something to share.  March is absolutely my favorite month of the year.  No doubt about it.  Why?  Well, springtime is great, the air begins to get warmer, and I get to do some spring cleaning to make my house feel all new again.  BUT, the main reason I love March sooo much is because my birthday occurs on March 24th, the best day of the year:)

I decided, since it is my birthday month, I wanted to share all different recipes of things I love!  Two foods that I absolutely love are cake and sprinkles.  However, I wanted to start off my birthday month with something a little more original than birthday cake.  I love this cookie recipe because it tastes just like cake and has lots of sprinkles but, it's actually a cookie.  What could be better than a birthday cake cookie??

1 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 (3.4oz) dry vanilla pudding mix
3/4 cup dry vanilla or white cake mix
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup sprinkles*

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

With a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well.  Add pudding mix and cake mix, blend together.  Beat in vanilla.

In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.  Stir together.

Slowly add the flour mixture into the butter mixture until all combined.

Stir in your favorite sprinkles!  Roll dough into 1 to 2 inch balls and bake for about 10-12 mins.






Look at all those delicious sprinkles!!

*Instead of sprinkles, you can try adding chocolate chips or m&ms!
